How can you track your network’s health? The Internet and Addressing All machines on the Internet are accessed via their IP address Dotted quad: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Problem: IP addresses are hard to remember and hard to statically assign on large networks Solution: Need to come up with a way to automatically assign IP addresses and a text based representation of machine addresses instead of just 4 numbers Addressing Solutions Two protocols have been developed to solve these problems DHCP – automatic network configuration (including IP address) DNS – translates textual based names into IP addresses and vice versa DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP Allows client machines to receive an IP address, DNS information, etc automatically Before DHCP came into use, users had to type in all this information by hand, which is bad: Easy to mistype something when entering by hand Manually changing network configuration every time you move your laptop is a pain Bootp resolved some of these issues … and DHCP still uses the same port as bootp Purpose of DHCP From RFC-2131 (the Internet standard): The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. DHCP consists of two components: a protocol for delivering host-specific configuration parameters from a DHCP server to a host and a mechanism for allocation of network addresses to hosts. DHCP functional goals A host without a valid IP address locates and communicates with a DHCP server A DHCP server passes configuration parameters, including an IP address, to the host The DHCP server may dynamically allocate addresses to hosts and reuse addresses Hosts can detect when they require a new IP address Unavailability of DHCP server has minimal effect o
